Listen to the reaction there. Real Irish people, cheering on the debut of another real Irish man.
Don't pay too much attention to what anonymous blue tick accounts based in Tel Aviv, Bangladesh, or the US think.

What has happened to Joe McCarthy?
He's not even playing the same sport he used to.
I get players can have a dip in form, but this feels more than that, like he's being asked to do things that aren't natural to him.
Big strong young lads should run straight.
The laws of physics are in his favour.

I dont often agree with whoever posts here, but they're correct. A simpler metric for determining the sanction would be looking at which way the ball travelled after the attempted one handed intercept; up/up and forward should be scrum only. Down/forward and down should be penalty and yellow card.
The Louis Lynagh yellow card is a farce. Not the individual refs fault but this whole deliberate knock on nonsense.
He wants to catch the ball and score an intercept. Any other interpretation is massively biased towards the attacking team
The correct call is a scrum and anything more is a travesty

Absolutely. He has been brilliant for a long, long time now.

Well done Mr. Lowe and his big fat arse.

The Italian scrum is a worry for me. They went after Scotland last week with some success.
France didn't really go after Ireland in the set piece, so for all "the scrum was okay" it wasn't really tested either.
Ignacio Brex is a massive loss for them, and Capuozzo still out is a boost for Ireland.

Not liking spectator sport is one of the best life hacks going. Over a lifetime you'll end up with literally years of time to dedicate to whatever you want, compared to spending it being pointlessly obsessed with other people playing a game

I'm fully aware that NZ/Aus are the reason the laws of rugby are being fucked around with, the idiotic 20 minute red card, etc.
But, Super Rugby does have some amazing tries.
Decent scrap here between Highlanders and Crusaders.
22-13, Highlanders, 51 minutes played.
